Tell me you don’t ski in New England without telling me you don’t ski in New England.

I have the same issue, seemingly, with my 2017 Outback. My battery kept dying for which I got a lot of run around from the dealer (gaslighting about keyless entry drains it if the …

I spent three summers sorting QSL cards at the outgoing bureau (between giving tours) at the ARRL. It perhaps wasn’t so much “magical” as tedious, but it was a pretty cool job as a…

Looks like that’s the max weight for any package.

Spaceteam is kind of a "Jackbox bridge simulator" if you haven't tried it. It's definitely silly and not serious, and in my experience can be enjoyed by a pretty wide audience. htt…

IMO as someone who works on games, developers will come along with high quality Linux builds when there are a significant number of users that demand it. I think anyone who's doing…

Beers on "nitro" are still carbonated with CO2. The nitro is used to achieve a higher serving pressure used to force it through a diffusing nozzle on the tap. N2 doesn't actually d…

You can run your updates faster than the slowest ping. You just need more command latency. So when you, say, command a unit to move somewhere, there's an agreed-upon future time wh…

We got way better at dealing with synced/deterministic simulations over time. Much better sync logging system, decoupling render rate from simulation rate, more institutional knowl…

We made a Stranger Things mobile game for Netflix that is free and devoid of IAP. It's just freely available on the app stores though, and does not require a Netflix subscription. …

Very cool to see this (I worked on Hero Academy). When you say the randomness was removed, does that mean player's hands were a specific fixed shuffle or something else? How does i…

I have never written anything up personally, but I'm sure there is some stuff out there to be found. Get any two former Ensemble employees together, possibly buy them a beer, and y…

Strangely I am responsible for the name of this cheat code. It's an accidental-turned-intentional misnomer for a place we used to eat a lot during Age2 development called Fred's Do…

Also, "exclusive checkout" is something that doesn't even really make much sense in git, but is important for people collaborating on non-mergeable assets (3D models, textures, etc…

Cocos2d-x is another option: http://www.cocos2d-x.org/

I worked at Ensemble Studios (Age of Empires) and by the time we shipped Age of Mythology we had much better tools for dealing with sync bugs. Most of the run of the mill ones coul…

Project Settings/Editor/Asset Serialization/Force Text. I think this might be pro-only though.

Thanks, good suggestions. We just have the current "teaser" trailer we used to announce, but now we're out, we'd definitely benefit from a more straight up gameplay-oriented traile…

Three of us quit our jobs about six months ago to start a new mobile game studio. It was one of the most exciting yet terrifying things I have done. I mostly lurk here on HN, but I…
